Time is all I can suggest. There comes a time when you are living this way when you decide its time to change. I was lucky I was still alive and had not been busted. There was not "moment" when my life changed I just got sick of living that way.

Any Suggestions For An Out of Control Teen Into Sex, Drugs & Alcohol?
by minimus ini know of a 15 year old boy who is sliding deeper into substance abuse and everyone around him seems powerless to stop him from his self destructive behavior.
his parents are divorced, his father barely sees his son, his mother supports her 2 kids in the best way that she can but cannot control her son at all.
he smokes weed every day, been in trouble regularly with the law, is now selling prescription meds that he steals from family members---basically, he's either going to be dead or in jail if he doesn't get serious help.. any suggestions??

Any Vegans on the Board?
by PrimateDave inmy new year's resolution is to make the lifestyle change to the vegan-pure vegetarian diet: no animal derived foods.. it is a change i have considered before on different occasions.
i didn't stick with the diet in the past due to lack of information, or perhaps the abundance of misinformation available on the optimum diet.
i've never been grossly overweight, probably never over 170 lbs.

I was a vegan for 2 years, I started the vegan lifestyle because of servere pains which seamed to be caused by certain foods. By eating this way I did not get any pains. Eventualy they found and removed the 30 toothsize gallstones I had. I continued eating this way for another year or so. BUT I read all the information I could find on what was required to stay healthy. It required a lot of work and planning. It also required eating a lot to get the quanities of protein and some vitimans. Its not just about vegtables at random, Planned meals with nuts and substiutes eg vegan yogurt.

I have a couple of hives. The taste of the honey changes depending on the flowers and time of year. I suggest you go to a local farmers market and try the free tastings and get the one you like.

Falling Asleep at Assemblies
by LouBelle inyes i have dozed off many times when i used to attend.
most of the time kept the shades on as we used to have outside assemblies.
the thing was not to slide off the chair, drop your head forward or snore.. i've seen some brothers/sister hitting a serious lean to the left or right as they slept and then they'd jerk awake, only to lean again.. some people had sneaky methods.

Unforturnately this habit has caused me problems in real life. If I am at a boring work meeting or course, I just start closing down. As these are often small goups the speaker often gets annoyed picking on me.

OK back to fluff for a change...has anyone had success making icecream?
by restrangled ini bought one of those new fangled devices, by cuisenart...pour the stuff into a prefrozen container and watch it turn into your dream homemade icecream....not!.
it comes out soft and soupy.
if you put it into the freezer it hardens into 1000 year old glacier like material.. it tastes good, but the texture is never where you want it.

Yes I Make great Icecream. If your freezers is to cold it will freeze to hard, also a high sugar content will make it hard.. Try substuting some honey for sugar. Remove from freezer before you want to use it.

How many of you have food stored in case of an emergency??
by Lady Liberty ingood evening everyone,.
another topic here made me think of the mormons who are counseled to have a years worth of food on hand in the event of an emergency.

I do. I have a large pantry as I do a lot of cooking. I also keep chickens and have a bee hive on the property. We are on rain water stored in a tank for household use. We don't live in the country just semi rural. The vege garden is small but self sustaining through chicken manure. Fruit trees dot the section. Neigbours call me barbara (from the goodlife) as a joke. I enjoy my hobbies. I do not spray and have no modified plants/trees on the section. I tend to think of it as a healthy lifestyle, but if we need to, I could survive for a couple of months.

Meet with elders because "I have left Jehovah"
by Rayvin inmy husband got a call on his cell phone.
an elder from the local kh told him he would like to get with both of us.
he said he was just getting in touch with the local people in his cong.

You seem happy enough so why even bother with this. You don't have to meet or speak with the elders, take their phone calls. They have no place in your life. Leave them at the curb and drive on pass.
